NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Andre Johnson deserves a national stage -- he’s dominant, humble and the No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL, and yet he can count on one hand the number of times he has played on national TV. Drafted third in 2003 by the Texans, Johnson has played more games without making the playoffs than all but two active receivers. In “Simply Irreplaceable”, in the new...
Okay kids... Week 11 is fast approaching. 2 regular season fantasy weeks to go after this weekend. It's crunch time, so I'm sure many of you (like me) are gripping over which players to plug into those WR2/3, flex, and RB2 spots. Again, if you have a Peyton Manning, Chris Johnson, or other matchup-proof player, then by all means go with that player. Let's take a look at some players who you might want...
More photos » by Wade Payne - AP Browse more photos » We have spent a lot of time talking about how much better the Titans secondary is now than it was at the Boston Massacre. But my question is how much better are they? They looked good against Jacksonville, San Francisco, and Buffalo, but none of those teams have a passing attack that really strikes fear into anyone. Thus the real test...
The Titans are 11-4 in the regular season against the Texans . The Titans have never played the Texans in the postseason. The Titans are 5-2 in Houston, and Jeff Fisher is 5-2 against Gary Kubiak. Vince Young has made one start in Houston. You might remember it because of this: In case you didn't know, this is the Monday Night Football game so the broadcast will be handled by Mike Tirico, Ron Jaworski...
by Chris Burke Filed under: Lions Calvin Johnson , now is his third professional season, has shown flashes of brilliance. His 1,200-plus yards receiving and 12 touchdowns in 2008 were incredible numbers considering Detroit finished 0-16. But "Megatron" has just one TD grab this season, and the Lions are a combined 8-33 since drafting him. So while Johnson has been stellar at times and has...
1. Andre Johnson vs. Tennessee Titans The Titans have shored up some of their secondary woes but after Sunday’s game, in which T.O. and Evans had solid games, it’s apparent that issues still exist. And Andre Johnson is not the man you want to face with issues. Expect a big receiving night for Johnson with over 100 [...]

After the jump I have posted each question that Jeff Fisher was asked at his Monday afternoon press conference. Without cheating, try and guess how he answered each question.

Here's what stuck out from watching the Colts' 20-17 victory over the Texans last Sunday: * From the start, TE Dallas Clark is the go-to guy. Two plays, two catches. Then after mixing in Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie, Peyton Manning goes to Clark again. * First rush, behind new starter Kyle DeVan at RG, Joseph Addai gains 4. * Collie has back-to-back drops. Don't see that too often from the rookie,...
Let's turn our attention to the other side of the ball. Through nine games, who has been the most outstanding offensive player for your Houston Texans ? Once again, note that I said "most outstanding" as opposed to "most valuable." In other words, who's been the absolute best on that side of the ball so far? The " Brian Cushing of the Offense ," if you will? Vote in the...

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Once the Houston Texans addressed their turnover troubles and turned to backup running back Ryan Moats, they solved the offensively inept Buffalo Bills and ran away with a 31-10 win on Sunday. Moats, taking over after starter Steve Slaton lost yet another fumble, scored three touchdowns on consecutive fourth-quarter drives to help the Texans (5-3) win their third straight game...

The Texans visit the Bills with both teams trying to work on a three game winning streak. But it’s bad news on the receiving end for the Texans with the loss of their Pro Bowl receiver Andre Johnson. On the other side of the ball, the Bills have lost their starting quarterback Edwards and replaced him with Ryan Fitzpatrick who has helped the Bills win two of their last three. Houston Texans vs Buffalo...
